The American Folk Art Museum engages people of all backgrounds through its collections, exhibitions, publications, and programs as the leading forum shaping the understanding and appreciation of folk and self-taught art across time and place.

We want to acknowledge that AFAM stands upon Lenapehoking, the unceded traditional homeland of the Lenape Delaware People. We honor Lenape People, past, present and future, and are committed to centering Indigenous perspectives in our exhibitions, publications, and programs.
